An Indian male nurse who is said to be a person of interest in the murder case of Queensland woman Toyah Cordingley has left the country, multiple media outlets reported.
Twenty-four-year-old Ms Cordingley, a pharmacy assistant, was found dead on Wangetti Beach, north of Cairns on October 22, a day after she failed to return home after stepping out to walk her dog.
The Courier Mail reported that Queensland Police are working with Indian authorities and the Interpol to track down an Indian national who reportedly took a flight to India after Ms Cordingley’s body was discovered.
Queensland Police, however, have refused to confirm the details of the suspect saying speculation on the case can jeopardise the investigation. 
“Queensland Police Service will not be providing anything further, other than the investigation is continuing,” the QPS said in a statement.

“Speculation surrounding elements of the investigation are not helpful, and have the potential to jeopardise that,” it added.
The Courier Mail alleges that the male nurse identified as a “key suspect” was working at a public hospital in far north Queensland and was witnessed with scratch and bite marks.
Seven News reported that the police triangulated Ms Cordingley’s mobile phone and the suspect’s car from security and dash camera pictures and concluded they were in the same location. He was also reportedly witnessed driving erratically through Cairns on his way back home where booked his air ticket to India, boarding a flight the next day.

The channel also reported that Queensland Police are currently liaising with the Australian Federal Police to secure the suspect’s DNA in India. The police have refused to confirm whether these reports from Seven are accurate.
